Billy Bolt wins Extreme XL Lagares

Billy Bolt won the overall victory at Extreme XL Lagares, the first round of the World Enduro Super Series, sharing the podium with Jonny Walker and Manuel Lettenbichler.

Walker led much of the Extreme Race yesterday, but the front pair got late riders on the slippery river bed of the Lagares river on the second lap, with Bolt advancing to the lead. The Husqvarna rider was then able to finish ahead with a difference of more than a minute for Walker.

Manuel Lettenbichler was another rider who was involved in a strong fight, but ended up losing to the two front men. At the KTM’s command, the rider still struggled with Graham Jarvis and Cody Webb during the first lap. However, the situation changed on the second lap and Lettenbichler finished in the lowest place on the podium.

Whoever was the first to be out of the top three was Taddy Blazusiak. After a weak prologue, as well as an Endurocross race, the KTM Pole started in 42nd place and was able to do a lot of overtaking. In the end, he was able to clinch a fourth place and get valuable points for the championship.

Behind Blazusiak, Graham Jarvis was the responsible rider for closing the top five with a significant difference for his teammate.
